mmm....cake

He's 1!!!

Well, my baby is now 1! He had a great birthday party with just a few family and friends at our house. It was a lot of fun! This was the first birthday party at our house since moving here and remodeling. Hopefully it will be the first of many more :o) As you can tell, we aren't quite done with the house yet, but it is finally ALMOST there!


loving his fire hat from Auntie Danielle and Corbin (Mayma is helping)

All the kids wanted to help him open the presents
HIS cake to dig into and then the Cat tractor cake. It was actually supposed to have a part on it that was lifting the candle into place on the smaller cake but mommy was having issues so this is what he got :o)

Mamiko and Mayma watching the kiddos playing

Ohhhh Spaghetti Stars....

mommy takes a lot of pics with her camera phone while Abi's at school!

Abi always smiling for the camera

He has learned to climb on things now! Giving mommy a run for her money!
Cutest kids in the world. Always playing together
Daddy is FIRED! If you look closely, you can see a line across Gus's nose. This is from where daddy had a glass pyrex sitting on a towel on the counter and BOOM...Gus found it! (this is all while mommy was at work!)
Gus likes to try to help Abi play the Wii
Do you think he's bored?
mmmm, relaxation! I wish I could relax like that :o)
Another daddy is FIRED!!! Playing in the dog kennel and fell against the door (again, mommy was at work!)
scrub-a-dub-dub!
Lydia always near her baby!

After this picture was taken, he woke up and started where he left off LOL

Snow Fun

Gus and Abi watching me fight with the snow to make a mini snow man :o)
Yes, he is on the back of my car but we was crunched down into the layer of ice over the snow so he wasn't going anywhere (atleast that's what John said...I was at work!'

John's drive on his way home...
Amazing!

Abi liked finding sucking on the ice
The St. John's Bridge. We drive over this everyday. It's GORGEOUS!



Our house in the snow
my mini snowman :o)
Going down the tube slide...nothing but ice
